A Domestic Picture.

The people who pass to and fro across
one of the north side bridges are treat
ed every now and then to q scene from
pretty domestic drama that is enacted
in one of the many happy homes in this
city. About $50 o'clock almost any
morning there may be seen crossing the
aforesaid bridge pretty young woman,
apparently about % years of age. al
ways neatly and becomingly dressed,
with sweet. good face, and quaint,
matronly air that renders her perfectly
charming and conjures all sorts of
visions Of a snug little home, hearth
that is in reality an altar of honest,
true affection, and a sturdy. strong
hearted young husband. Perhaps
who knows?-there may be a bright
faced, prattling little boy who rules
automatically this model little home.
Although this young wife is alone on
her morning trip, yet she never comes
back alone in the evening. The hus-
band, who must get to work earlier in
the morning, always guides her home
ward steps with that air Of proud pos
session and absolute love and trust that
is as charming as it is rare, and than
which a young husband can have no
more graceful attribute.
The constant sight of this couple
prompted curious inquiry, with a result
in perfect accordance with the prima-
facie evidence in the case. The facts
are these:
The husband is one of many clerks in
| q large establishment here. His salary
is but $50 month. The wife is a we'll
born girl. but one of that great number
who have suffered deprivation through
the dishonesty of others. They were
engaged three years. and the marriage
postponed for prudential reasons. At
last the young people took the law into
their own hands, and casting fear and
doubt TO the winds entered hand in
hand on the rough path of life. Three
months after marriage the young bride
obtained a position as assistant cashier
in millinery store. Their total income
is 1925 per month. On that they not
only live well but happily. Their
house is small one. but piece by piece
has been prettily and neatly furnished
and in every corner there is perfect evil
dence of the touch of a woman's hand,
whose labor is love. For three years
they have been married and in that
time this brave little woman has saved
over $500. Think of it, ye hundreds of
young men and women who fear to
marry on less than $1,000 a year, and
ye young men who keep seltishly the
honest heart of girl waiting in patient
expectancy while you waste annually
enough to give her the comfort both Of
a roof of your own and your Lowell Last
night this happy family went to the
theater. Both were neatly and even
stylishly dressed. They sat in breath
less absorption. 1t was a rare treat
which will last reminiscently long
time. Every good point was gravely
marked by mutual chances of apprecia-
ton, and when the drop curtain fell,
with a sigh of regret the young wife
took her husbands arm and together
they went to that house where the
strength of affection and the energy of
endeavor are blended into one SYM
phony of happiness. Chicago NetOS.

Mr.. Bishop was removed to the ante
room and blindfoided. and in the mean
time Mr.. Kennard gathered a knife
from a gentleman and reserved seat

ladies. These he tied up in white
handkerchief aud made a round OF the
hall, stopping for moment to make

he proceeded to the upper balcony and
deposited the package in the hollow OF
the base of Apolio's statue in sight OF
all Mr.. Bishop then announced that
the experiment would be made without
any physical contact. in order that the
question of ..muscle-reading' might be
settled Mr.. Kennard placed his hand
about five inches above that of Mr..
Bishop, and almost instantly the latter
started rapidly down the hall, MIR. Ken

the only hitch proceeding from Mr..

from WHOM he took the knife.
Mr.. Bishop next repeated his feat OF
reading the number on a concealed
bank note through the impression pro-
duced on him OF the COMMITTEES who

exceedingly difficult test. being no less
a figure than Is, $40, 1913. Mr.. Kennard
stated to the audience that he thought
it was due to Mr. Bishop to say that no
body but himself had ever seen the
number of that note till he had pro
duced it in the hall, as it was fresh from
the treasury.
The closing test was with Prof Lyon
of Harvard. who wrote upon the bach
of the blackboard a word, language
unknown to MIR. Bishop and unseen by
him. With infinite labor Mr.. Bishop
still with his eyes bandaged, wrote up
